William Arnold (1587-1675) was an early settler in Rhode Island.

He was born in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire or Ilchester, Somerset*, and came to Providence in 1636. He was associated with Roger Williams as one of the fifty-four proprietors in the first settlement of Rhode Island.

His son was Benedict Arnold, a governor of Rhode Island, and his great-great-grandson was Benedict Arnold, the notorious traitor.
